Just my observation, but the demand for real estate photographers is almost nil now. Every salesman and broker owns a digital and so take their own for free (they are greedy little suckers) The only field that even might have the slightest demand for such would be the very high-end real estate market. But be aware that the quality of work demanded is at the level of the 'Architectural Digest'. But what the hey, examine closely, very closely, your local market and talk to people...there might just be a wee crack in the door somewhere.

Couldn't be more correct!

Most real estate photos are done with iPhones by the agent for free. I have seen ads here and there from companies looking for people to go out taking images of houses or property. But the pay is very low, and they expect you to drive all over. In the end it's not worth the trouble.

The demand for quality images is pretty much limited to multi million dollar homes. They do pay well, but now you need to be able to do high quality work. They take mutiple images for each area, and then do a lot of processing. The demand for that is small to begin with, and they already have photographers they work with.

Many years ago, while in Law School, I earned extra money working for a large real estate company doing aerial photography of plats of land that were in the getting a permit to develop stage. I would strap into the seat of a small plane, the pilot would bank over the fields and I would photograph the land. I never did property photographing. I imagine they use google maps now.

Also a warning: There is a limit to how far real estate photographs can stray from reality. Violate that principle and you or the real estate agent may lose the would-be buyer, reputation for honest dealing, or, in more extreme cases, a lawsuit.
